CANNON C50GCI Width: 500mm Gas Cooker Reviews

+ Easy to use. Looks good. Easy to clean.

- Main oven a little bit small, so not suitable for a large family. The grill takes quite a long time to grill food.

+ Can be used in a flat and is a nice design with easy to use controls.

- Costs more that gas cookers that cannot be used in flats.

+ Its all good

- No bad points found - so far

+ There is nothing complicated about this cooker, cleaning included.

- The grill is a little slow and seems more interested in grilling the knobs on the front of the cooker.

+ Safety. Fold-down top. Self-clean oven. 3 ring sizes.

- it has a convex back which means you cannot get it close to the wall

+ EASE OF USE

- NONE SEEN

+ Nice, stylish, easy to use and clean

- Price (could be lower), slow cook oven

+ Good even cooking with the oven, a lot better than electric.

- Oven can take a few more seconds to light while the thermostat warms up but thats not a problem.

+ Pleasing on the eye in regards to design and quality of the finish is very good.
Easy access to controls and clear to see.
More efficient than my previous cooker and I like the simmer control on each of the burners.

- To grill food ie; bread for toast does take a long time. The distance between the burner and the grill pan is a long way? maybe the top oven is better used for keeping food hot? as apposed to use as a grill?

+ Good cooking results from oven, according to 'Which' magazine.
Extra safety device for useing in Flats (apartments).

- For the price, I can't really see any bad points.

+ good compact design and standard ovens

- none

+ Everything, except the grill. It's easy to keep clean (a BIG plus), the controls are easy to use and I like way the light remains on in the oven when in use. It's nice and compact and even I can move it when I need to clean behind and underneath it. The glass lid is also a big plus being smooth (again easy to keep clean) and not dimpled like my last cooker.

- The grill. It takes ages to cook anything under the grill and the food being grilled has to be placed in exactly the right position otherwise its not evenly cooked as the grill flames go sideways out from a central channel.

+ Good looking and easy to keep clean

- Sometimes difficult to ignite

+ Good value for money

- Grill very underpowered and slow
Timer is very badly designed and difficult to use

+ Being able to look into the oven without opening the door. Easy to clean hobs. Easy access to remove and
clean the glass from oven/grill door.

- Having to pay more for gas cookers because of the fire saftey device (all to expensive).

+ looks great

- grill takes a long time to cook any food and the hob rattles when the grill door is left opened

+ Delivery was on time

- The cooker comes WITHOUT a gas connection pipe, So the cooker is useless unless you have time to buy one.

+ Easy to clean
Electric ignition for the gas means no batteries required
Fits into a small kitchen suitable for a flat
Great for one or two people

- Could do with an extra rack in the oven
Grill is slow to heat up
Position of the knobs on the front are odd but easy to use
Oven not big enough for a large family
Due to it's size only standard roasting dishes will fit in

+ Neat looking cooker , easy to keep clean

- The grill leaves a lot to be desired, it is inefficient inasmuch that it does not produce sufficient heat to do the job in a reasonable time.The grill pan is awkward to slide into the rails and the pan handle is of poor design in the way it attaches to the pan. The enamel on the grill pan can be easily chipped off when attaching the handle because the wire ends of the handle are roughly finished, they should really be hemispherically ground. The other main problem is that the gas taps have to be pressed far too long to achieve constant ignition.

+ easy to use and clean

- you have to hold the spark button down for a long time to light the gas

+ the cooker has a nice appearance the quality of finish is very good and is well proportioned and finished to a very high standard all four top plate burners and the oven operate silently and the heat intensity is high.

- its a pity that 'elf and safety insist on so many and sometimes over the top safety precautions i find that having to hold in the control knob for several seconds waiting for it too ignite and then often it hasn't is a bit of an annoyance. finally why is the griller flame so feeble compared to the rest of the burners it seems to take forever to grill a piece of toast for example, i did phone the service department and ask for some advice which wasn't very forthcoming and i would be charged for a service call thats just not on for a new cooker.

+ Looks really smart, and cooks very well.

- The pan supports are very smooth and shiny and pots are likely to slide off, and my cooker is definitely level.
The burners light after only a few seconds, but the oven takes more than a minute with the knob depressed and sparking before it actually stays alight.
The grill pan is too far away from the heat source and toast takes for ever to brown.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- gas burners sound very loud when on.

+ Great oven, not faults so far

- Only 50cm wide which I needed for the space I had in kitchen so little limited on oven dishes to fit inside. Great cooker tho.
